Question

My car was recently in an accident,car was hit at the left rear tire. there is a bulge in my tire safe or not?

Answer 1

Replace it because it is very dangerous to drive and you will have a blow out.

Answer 2

A bulge in the tire is a sign that the inner wall is punctured. Sometimes the tire can last for months but most of the time the tire is not safe at all. If I were you, I would get it replaces as soon as possible and if you can't do it right away, at least check your spare to make sure you are prepared for when it goes flat.

Answer 3

Not safe. the inner cords have ruptured and air is escaping to the outer rubber casing.Replace asap.

Answer 4

If you decide to wait on changing the tire i would at least make sure i had a jack, four way, and spare tire in my trunk.

Answer 5

replace the tire soon! and take it for a alignment

Answer 6

no. replace NOW!

Answer 7

No, once you have sidewall separation, your tire will blow eventually. It is only a question of when and where. It might happen at the most inconveniencing of times or it might happen driving at high speeds and could cause an accident if you are caught off guard. The best advice as all the others have posted before me is to change it ASAP.

Answer 8

It will be perfectly safe sitting in youre driveway. I would'nt try to drive on it though.

Answer 9

Not.  This is a separation, and the tire could easily fail at that point.  Replace it.

Answer 10

Absolutely not, it's an accident waiting to happen

Answer 11

Your tire is in a HIGHLY DANGEROUS state - replace it NOW.

If you drive the car with the tire in that condition, you are committing a criminal offence.

Answer 12

I think a blowout could ruin your whole day.  I don't know what kind of accident, but your insurance adjuster should have looked at that tire.  Please, find your spare and take the other to a tire store to get a replacement.  There might be a warranty on the tire.  Call  :)  Don't drive, though.  :)

Good Luck!

Answer 13

depends on what the bulge is, you can have some bulges from belts moving which is normal. if it is a bulge like a golf ball get it replaced now.
